TORONTO, June 24, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Silver Storm Mining Ltd. ("Silver Storm" or the "Company") (TSX.V: SVRS | OTCQB: SVRSF | FSE: SVR), is pleased to announce further drill results from its Phase 1 diamond drilling program at the Company’s 100% owned La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex, located in Durango Mexico. Results from the 16 holes (1,935 metres ("m")) contained within this release are from the San Marcos Mine.

Key highlights include:

  • In San Marcos South, hole SM-24-010 returned 504 g/t Ag.Eq1 over 5.14 m and 367 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.63 m within a broader interval of 249 g/t Ag.Eq over 19.03 m and 427 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.13 m

  • SM-24-011 returned 569 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.00 m and 431 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.87 m within a broader interval of 319 g/t Ag.Eq over 11.75 m

- Both holes 010 & 011 are located approximately 35 m and 100 m, respectively, downdip below the 1790 EL stope where the composited weighted average grade of historical channel samples returned 597 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 33 m and average width of 2.37 m. Results from these two holes indicate mineralization has become wider, below previous mined horizons.

  • SM-24-014 returned 204 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.00 m, SM-24-012 returned 503 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.49 m and 141 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.21 m, and SM-24-008 returned 182 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.76 m

- Further extends the oxide mineralization approximately 77 m to the south-southeast from the last mine development in the area

  • In San Marcos North, hole SM-24-017 returned 405 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.00 m, SM-24-016 returned 191 g/t Ag.Eq over 3.25 m, SM-24-005 returned 178 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.50 m and 371 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.00 m, SM-24-004 returned 148 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.72 m, and SM-24-003 returned 163 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.40 m

- Intercepts from holes SM-24-004 and SM-24-017 extend the oxide zone mineralization respectively 37 m and 100 m below the last mine development in this area

  • A new mineralized zone was discovered approximately 10 m to the southwest of the San Marcos Zone with hole SM-24-004 returning 283 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.55 m, SM-24-005 returning 147 g/t Ag.Eq over 3.50 m.

Greg McKenzie, President and CEO, commented: "We are pleased with the strong drill results from the San Marcos Mine, where we have intersected high-grade mineralization in both the South & North Zones approximately 100 m below the last mined stopes. In particular, the South Zone appears to be getting wider at depth where hole SM-24-011 intersected 319 g/t Ag.Eq over 11.8 m (true width ~ 11 m) compared to 2.4 m within the last mined stope 100 m higher. We anticipate these results should have a positive impact on future Mineral Resources, both in terms of tonnage and grade. Follow up drilling will be performed in proximity to holes 010 and 011 allowing for the potential addition of indicated resources within this area of San Marcos."
